At Work or At Play— Safe Practices Pay! If each of us would adopt and practice the slo gan that "ITS ALWAYS CARE WEATHER/’ our personal injuries and sicknesses would auto matically decrease. We must admit that too many of us pay too little attention to protecting our health, and that numerous personal injuries bring out the fact that "we do not me the necessary "care" and "caution” in performing our daily routine tasks. There is a safe way to do all things, and we will always find that the safe way is the best way. DO WE HAVE "WEAK LINKS”? It has often been said and is very, very true that "A Chain is as strong as its weakest link.” This statement could easily be adapted to each department’s safety record, for no matter how careful the majority of the employees of a de partment may be, a "chance-taker” or "weak link” can ruin a good safety record in a matter of sec onds. Our record here at Ecusta for the past nine years, bears out the fact that we do have numer ous "strong links” in our program for eliminating personal injuries. However, there is room for improvement, and we are soliciting the aid of you "strong links” in helping sell our "weak links” or "chance-takers” on the great importance of their staying accident free. This strengthening of our safety chain CAN BE DONE, and there is no one in a better posi tion to assist in this worthwhile move than you employees who are really safety-conscious. We should all remember that Job Dividend Checks are governed by our Company’s profit— that reduced operating expenses automatically means more profit—and that Accidents, even the ones that do not result in personal injury, are oftentimes costly. Need more be said.? "Men still die with their boots on—but usually one boot is on the accelerator.”—Selected. JOHNNY BOBBIN IN: "IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!' WHAT ARE YOU IN SUCH A HAPPY MOOD ABOUT BILL? ^CAUSE MY day’s work WILL BE OVER WHEN I REMOVE 'HIS NUT,
